It would appear that on Jun 4, Ross did say:
If you are using a usb -> serial adapter I think your Modem should be something like /dev/ttyS0 (you could check on your system with "dmesg |grep serial") instead of /dev/ttyUSB0
I would have thought so to. But unless I'm remembering wrong, isn't /dev/ttyS[1-3] the linux equivalent of com[1-4]? In which case, if the modem could be found on one of those wvdial wouldn't tell me: --> Cannot get information for serial port. just before it initializes the modem device specified in the wvdial.conf file, would it??? And in any case, /dev/ttyUSB0 is where wvdialconf identified my modem. => UnderTree =-> wvdialconf wvdial.cfg => Editing `wvdial.cfg'. => => Scanning your serial ports for a modem. => => Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 => WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- Zoom V.92 Serial s110701 -C Z207 => ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 4800: AT -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 9600: AT -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 19200: AT -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 38400: AT -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 57600: AT -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 115200: AT -- OK => ttyUSB0<*1>: Max speed is 115200; that should be safe. => ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK => => Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0. => wvdial.cfg<Warn>: Can't open 'wvdial.cfg' for reading: No such file or directory => wvdial.cfg<Warn>: ...starting with blank configuration. => Modem configuration written to wvdial.cfg. => ttyUSB0<Info>: Speed 115200; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" => UnderTree =-> Still lets see what dmesg says: => UnderTree =-> dmesg|grep serial => usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial => usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic => usbserial: USB Serial Driver core => UnderTree =-> ls -l /dev/ttyS* => crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Jun 5 00:11 /dev/ttyS0 => crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Jun 5 00:11 /dev/ttyS1 => crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Jun 5 00:11 /dev/ttyS2 => crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Jun 5 00:11 /dev/ttyS3 => UnderTree =-> ls -l /dev/ttyU* => crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Jun 5 00:11 /dev/ttyUSB0 => UnderTree =-> vim /etc/wvdial.conf => UnderTree =-> wvdial => --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Input/output error => UnderTree =-> vim /etc/wvdial.conf => UnderTree =-> wvdial => --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Input/output error => UnderTree =-> vim /etc/wvdial.conf => UnderTree =-> wvdial => --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS2: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS2: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS2: Input/output error => UnderTree =-> vim /etc/wvdial.conf => UnderTree =-> wvdial => --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS3: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS3: Input/output error => --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS3: Input/output error => UnderTree =-> vim /etc/wvdial.conf => UnderTree =-> wvdial => --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 => --> Cannot get information for serial port. => --> Initializing modem. => --> Sending: ATZ => ATZ => OK => --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C0 &D2 H1 +FCLASS=0 => ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C0 &D2 H1 +FCLASS=0 => OK => --> Modem initialized. => --> Sending: ATDT7340102 => --> Waiting for carrier. => ATDT7340102 => ERROR => --> Invalid dial command. => --> Disconnecting at Sat Jun 5 00:38:10 2010 => UnderTree =-> Wvdial only finds the modem when I specify 'Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0' in my wvdial.conf file... -- | ^^^ ^^^ | <o> <o> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ___ <<jtwdyp@ttlc.net>> <sigh>
